Adamar Hotel-Special Category

This is an excellent hotel! The location is supurb, 5mins walk from Aya Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Basilica cysterns, 1omins from Grand Bazaar and Topkapi Palace. Many restuarants nearby and plenty of shops. We felt very safe in this area. The staff are super helpful and friendly, 24hr reception. Breakfast is brilliant and the views from the restuarant are amazing. Comfy beds, clean rooms and nice hot shower. We left our luggage on the departure day and when we popped in to warm up a bit (it was sooooo cold) in the middle of tha day they got us free tea and coffee. Could not fault this place! I would highly recommend this hotel for a short-break in Istanbul.

Wonderful location, less than a 10 minute walk from Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, Topkapi Palace, Museum of Archeology and T1 Tram stop (Sultanahmet). Beautiful 6th floor + rooftop restaurant with awesome views of the Bosphorus Strait, Sea of Marmara, Istanbul's Asian side and the mosques mentioned above. We took great sunrise and sunset pictures from the roof. Lots of bars/restaurants/shopping right outside the hotel's entrance. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet was also wonderful - roughly the same day-to-day, but plenty of variety each day.

Lovely small hotel in the tourist heart of Istanbul. Our request for room with a view was met & the view towards the Bosphorus was perfect (Room 502). Rooftop & restaurant views are exceptional, although drinks/food menu on the expensive side. Breakfast was fairly basic and unchanging over 5 days but fresh and a great start to the day. Air Con was fabulous in the July heat. Bed very comfy. Complimentary daily water. All staff friendly with enough English for a confident stay!

Location was excellent and was surrounded by some good restaurants. Room was not the biggest, but was very comfortable. We found some staff very pleasant, others we didn't even get a hello. Rooftop bar was brilliant with excellent views of the city.

Great value for money. Location was exceptional for the old town. The only thing to note is that it’s on a busy intersection so if you’re a light sleeper maybe get a room away from the roads. The hotel was as per the photos and they were in the process of updating the foyer whilst we were there. The beds were very clean and super comfortable. The staff were pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was good and authentic. The views from the breakfast area were impressive. There was a slightly unpleasant smell in the room which we apportioned to the ancient drains but we’ve experienced worse in Italy. Would certainly recommend.
